Lakers fans hating LeBron is absolutely crazy!!! Sean is right…if the front office would’ve listened to LeBron in the first place, Ty Lue would be going on his sixth season with the team and possibly another chip or two!!!
The lakers should hire a defensive minded vet head coach, Reddick as the top assistant coach, a shooting expert assistant coach, Phil handy, Rondo as a guard assistant coach, and Jent as the lead centers’ coach
My guess is Reddick won't accept an assistant role. He likely makes more money doing broadcasting and his pod without the headache of coaching guys who for the most part don't really want to be coached. Feel like NBA coaches are paid to make adjustments and prep players, which seemed to be a weak point for Ham.
Sean 💯 Get the big in the draft And make sure it is a rebounding big For this Lakers team, that is A hell of a lot more important than a stretch the floor shooting big
Most of the top teams in the NBA built their rosters through drafting the right players and making the right trades. Unfortunately, Pelinka and the FO failed in both areas. It's hard to be optimistic about the future if Pelinka keeps his job despite his blunders.
Mark Jackson is out there, too! Theres something really wrong with yall. Mark Jackson made Golden State what they was! The disrespect for this man is savage from all parties, NBA & The media! He's better than everybody u guys mentioned! The decision to trade away Monte Ellis and keep a injury prone Steph Curry at the time will go down as a Top 3 best decision in NBA history!
You know damn well he's been blacklisted by Silver's LGBTQ allies in the league and media. Before Ham was hired Pelinka mentioned him and the Woke Joke Police shut it down before Mark could even interview. He can't even get an interview! He's an outspoken straight Christian man and has been branded a bigot for it. Can you imagine. A good Black man like Mark? Apparently he made a few jokes and offended some LGBTQ staffers at Golden State. Boo-Hoo. On top of that he has strong character and is a good culture setter. Many don't like the culture he's setting, is all. At the end of the day he is "better" than many candidates. And at least as good. Deserving of an opportunity he has said he wants. But he'll never get it. Considered a potentially "problematic" hire, not worth the trouble even in a business sense. Mark Jackson is bad business, might sit out Pride Night or not wear a rainbow ribbon. We can't have that, can we? Crazy times....
Just a suggestion to Trevor. Can you break some of these 1 hr pods into the 10 min clips of the different topics that are discussed during the 1 hr pod? Similar to what ESPN does w first take clips of their show. I love listening/watching but don't always have time to sit thru the whole 1 hr pod. Would be great and an opportunity to have more content/likes, etc. Just a thought from a dedicated follower. ✌🏾🙏🏾🏀🏀🏀
If Minnesota's assistant coach Micah Noria has a key role in the team's system, the Lakers should definitely take a look at him. Any future coach who can help defeat Denver is welcome. Of course, the Lakers will have to draft/trade for the right players for the anti-Denver system to work.
Quinn Snyder or Mark Jackson or try to convince phill Jackson to unretire JJ Reddick no disrespect but I don't think he got it in him quin Snyder he worked under Eric sporlstra in Miami and Greg popovice in San Antonio he comes from that championship 🏆 predegre
We need a coach that could make efficient adjustments during the game. I hate to say this but that is exactly what Denver's coach does. His adjustments have paid off in helping them win the game. He called time outs after being up and when seeing Minnesota trying to make a come back. I wish it was that easy where we could have Vogel as our defensive coach and a really good offensive coach where both could make the needed adjustments during the game. Lol
Building through draft is exciting for hopium, but a superstar in basketball makes such a big difference on winning. I do think there are less superstars now and more great allstar level players.
Given the new CBA and direction of the league I don't think Pelinka has the right mentality to lead the organization into the future. The Lakers typically hit as an organization in the scouting department but Pelinka has traditionally just missed opportunities on drafted players contracts... Thoughts?
Did they even scout/have a plan with JHS? If so, was Ham even aware of their plan with JHS? What did they expect JHS to turn into when they drafted him? They just randomly drafted him with no vision, at least draft a C or 3nD wing, why draft another guard...
I blame pelinka for lakers lost to nuggets d lo Reaves rui was not the answers a lot of teams got much better like Knicks bucks Celtics clippers but not the lakers.. pelinka is not the answers for lakers 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
@@Cahluvca What do you mean? I thought this channel & all the members were happy cause trash Lakers had "won the offseason" & had "a deep & stacked bench" after last summer's offseason? 😑🙄Why the change? 🤔🤣
Trevor, I remember you and Keith on NBA Front Office reviewing the most recent CBA agreement. There was talk at that time about how the team salary-cap was punitive to teams that drafted well. More specifically a team drafts three players who all becomes stars. Because of the salary cap, the team is put in the dilemma of having to trade one of the stars or face an enormous tax penalty for exceeding the cap. Was that issue in the CBA ever addressed by players and owners?
Max Christie from my hometown, His upside is there, I would include in a for trade bait or separate trade depends on who. He has value. If not in a main trade for that 3rd star. I would keep at the rite price.
Starting 5 Dejounte Murray, Vando, Lebron, AD, & Robert Williams III….defense line up….w still get scoring from PG w LBJ & AD….if we can keep AR bring him off bench as 6th man scorer to keep the lead going
Denver, Minnesota, Boston and Kansas City have shown the league how it's done. For the concept to work, the team would need a competent GM/FO and an NBA level coach.
Lakers is the new grass roots of future superstar going to other NBA team after kobe era...😂😂😂😂😂 This is the new mission and vission of rob pelinka.... Nice move...
The biggest issue the last 2 yrs has been the roster construction more than its been the head coach. Sure mike browns offense looks great but look at the players on that team. The front offense needs to build a proper team arond AD and bron. 💜💛
is there any chance for laker to get brook lopez , like bucks sure ll looking for trades and probably brooks name s going to be considered to get some addition. do y think laker can match salary cap in that trade ?
@@michaelmartin9083 yeah right but they dont have any asset other than brook or maybe - which is more unlikely bc of hes younger than brook- middleton . i think laker may have chance to get him back. and he can be best fit next to AD as 6th pieces of rotation.
I'd try to get bigger, the Lakers should try to move up in the draft, and take a chance on Zach Edey, then they can drop AD back down to power forward, if D'Lo opts out, they should use that cap space to get another big, maybe Nic Claxton..
Anyone they hire is gunna be there 1-3 years at most until they have an even slightly disappointing season. Then they will be let go. It always fascinated me how the lakers coaching job you have to be as near perfect at all times as possible and every decision will be anaylized to death. Basically you need to come in be basically perfect right off the hop and maintain that perfection at all times regardless of whatever issues arise. You have no room to grow into the role and improve its either you got it or you don’t and even if you have it even a bad coaching game at the wrong time your out and in comes the next one.
In my opinion Kenny Atkinson got a raw deal in Brooklyn Management got KD and Kyrie and thought Atkinson wasn't good enough Steve Nash definitely wasn't good enough lol
Team structure shouldn't depend on what LBJ wants. LA has to balance the post LBJ era with right now. Keep the team together and draft a big. Most of all hire the right coach to use the players already on the team properly, i.e. play Max and the younger guys.
Absolutely. The team should make planning for the future the priority and not cater to LeBron. Let's face it, there is ZERO chance the Lakers would win a championships in the next two years, LeBron's expiration date.
I don't think it will take Max that long to really develop. He just need reps. Getting reps is building experience. He just gotta get on the court and sadly that didn't happen this year. What do yall think about Sam Cassell as a head coach? At least oppt at an interview?
For guys to go get: Jalen McDaniels. 6'9. F 26yrs Naji Marshall. 6'6. G/F 26yrs Saddiq Bey. 6'7. G/F 25yrs Tyus Jones. 6'1. G 27yrs The bigs I would like to do a trade or something to get Claxton or Hartenstein
Sure, would be nice if you guys could look at the game from a perspective other than offense offense offense We had a great offense. That wasn't the problem Defense and rebounding. That's it. That's what we need. I don't give a s*** if some big can stretch the floor If you can't out muscle people under the basket or secure missed shots, we don't want him
If Lakers FO is reluctant about Mike Budenholzer, I definitely believe David adelman or Micah Nori especially is going to get lot of preference. I don't think they go with Kenny Atkinson. I also believe Rondo will be part of support staff.
Why do you (NBA people) never really consider coaches from overseas? I believe you can eventually find someone good in Europe for example. Any thoughts? Cheers!
So yeah, Minnesota builds a team based on the Lakers successful Bubble team, and is now DOMINATING the Nuggets.... the team that has been smashing the Lakers since the bubble, after Rob Pelinka dismantled a winning build, cos he wanted to try something different?! SMH.
@@pabloramos420 Different team dude You have to look at what we need now And what we need now more than any f****** thing else is rebounding And that is what he brings You do understand how this works rightYou do understand how this works right?
If Mark is out maybe akerson. But for real outside of M Jackson, im voting for Sean Sleepyhead Spaces. Sleepy from my limited vision is a better option.
As someone who has been saying that Minnesota is underrated and a threat for the past couple years, I now need to tell you people that you were overrating them The truth is Denver just isn't playing well And the bad thing is even not playing well. Denver is still with him in the west with the best chance to beat Boston
Biggest Needs: 1) 6'4-6'7 "3&D" SG/SF 2) Bac(k)up Traditional Center Suggestion: Trade Rui/1-1st/1st Pic Swap or FINO for Carushow/Drummond/Torrey Craig * The White Lightning ⛈️ and Thunder⚡️Bac(k) Court - The AR-15 & CaruShow!!! * Starters: AR/Caruso/Vando/LBJ/AD * DEN Starters: AR/Caruso/LBJ/AD/Drummond
Stop saying "Carushow" like he's a star player - he's just a pretty good role player and so is Drummond - neither one is worth giving up Rui and first for. Also, neither AR or Caruso are true PG's and Caruso/Drummond and Craig are all 30 or older, so that trade would benefit the Bulls more than the Lakers. Maybe Rui and a first if the Bulls threw in DeRozan -he's over 30 as well, but at least he's a star player who's a great scorer.
@@dmitryowens - Maybe You thought You was in Control of My Words Hommie!!! I’ll Call Him what I want. In regards to trading for “Carushow”, We need a Defensive Minded Guard to pair with AR, there are not very many True PG’s left in The NBA bcuz the majority of Guards are Combo Guards in Today’s Game. And, Drummond is a Traditional Center that We can get for $3-$5 Million that can play against some of the Traditional Centers like Joker so, AD can occasionally move over to PF during certain matchups. I like DeRozan bcuz He’s a Baller and He’s also from LA (Compton) however, He will be a FA Next Year and We can’t afford afford a $30+ Million FA.
@gregpollard7158 Well, the Lakers need a true PG who's a high level passer. If we're giving up Rui and a first, Dejounte Murray is a much better option than Caruso - he's taller, younger and most importantly a much better scorer, rebounder and passer.
@gregpollard7158 Also, DeRozan turns 35 in August - I highly doubt that any team is going to give a 35 year-old player 30+ mil (unless it's LeBron). He may get 20 mil max.
I think it takes a couple of years to develop team chemistry between all the players. I hope they just keep everyone together for next season because they really were close to Denver and were in every game. Lets go Lakers!!
Where have you been? 😑The aging Queen ain't got no time to "develop team chemistry between all players"...he wants to win NOW! If someone doesn't work out...move on to someone new. 🙄🤣
If the lakers trade for trae young I'm don't with this front office because that will show me where their mindset is as this point. No small guard in nba history has been able to win a title as the first option except curry and we know why curry has won. Trae will be a move just to sell tickets and no really to compete for championships so I hove I doesn't happen but I have lost faith in this front office so I don't know at this point what they are capable of
Honestly I'm not too crazy on Trae...his size and defense...I rather have Dejounte Murray over Trae Young. That defense on Curry...Jahmal..Dame...Fox...Ja... Trae be liability on defense at PG.
I will take vando being able to finish under the basket over Vando being okay from three The sad thing is he was actually starting to finish right before he got hurt again
I’m all for the JJ reddick hire. He was coached by one the greatest of all time who Kobe absolutely loved and admired and wanted as his coach. It’s risky but I’m sick of the tired retread of fired coaches. Some people compared JJ to nets hiring Nash but it’s that laughable. JJ still watches and analyzes game tape and produces content discussing all the intricacies of the game. You really think Nash was doing that? If he was doing that he would’ve been talking about it somewhere.
You said if AR played just 5more minutes we would have won the series! Lol , so what are we doing. We don’t need a center or a coach. Just give AR more minutes and we’re good 😊
Why is Mark Jackson not considered a real candidate what did he do to be completely blackballed? Is there something that happened in GM offices that spray across the NBA that says Mark Jackson has done XYZ?
There have been far worse NBA moves than the Russ trade, even by the Lakers - letting Andrew Bynum walk and signing Dwight Howard (who left the next season) was a terrible move.
No one player is bigger than the Team Trevor. Remember that when you start saying things like, "Would lebron go for it or will lebron will this move" 😡😡 Com on man now its getting ridiculous
Honestly it sounds crazy but if Phil Jackson can just come out of retirement and sign a max 2 year deal until Lebron retires just to finally give Lebron a hall of fame coach so we can finally all see if the coach was always the problem.
MJ didn't get a Hall of Fame coach, neither did Tim Duncan. Players make hall of fame coaches so we KNOW it's not the coaches. Did Steph get a hall of fame coach? Is Steve Curry at this point a hall of fame coach?
I think the key will be to get 1-2 borderline stars instead of using assets on 1 superstar. Trade Gabe, #17, 2nd for Caruso Trade Dlo & Reaves for Dejounte & a 2nd Trade JHS & 3 2nds for Nick Richards Trade Rui, Cam, Hayes 2 1st for Kuzma PG: DJ/Caruso SG: Christie/Prince SF: Kuzma/Vando PF: Bron/Wood C: AD/Richards Start: DJ, Caruso, Kuzma, Bron, AD
I like where ur going and I was thinking the same way but dlo is way too much money for caruso. Dlo and 2 first for Murray would be nice then like Gabe and Hayes and a first for Caruso and Drummond would be fire. I think Max can help us tho so it's be better to get a Caruso type player at wing instead of guard
@@hunter-zp2hf Just updated some of the trades. Let me know what you think. Only team I think says no is maybe the Bulls cuz they’re a bit delusional but #17 & a 2nd or two should get it done. Drummond is a F/A but I’d love Richards as the backup with a quality vet min as a 3rd center
Lakers need to keep their eyes on the future and not worry about LeBron’s wants. He and AD are not getting you a title as was proven this season. Minnesota, Denver, Boston and OKC arent going anywhere anytime soon and the Lakers are not close. Might as well plan for the future instead of worrying about his wants.
I may have missed it, but was Reddick coaching up players the way Rondo always was? I feel he wasn’t. I prefer Rondo over Reddick by a lot! For any level of coach. Don’t want Reddick as a head coach, big mistake. Rondo as assistant would be very awesome.

He likely makes more money doing broadcasting and his pod without the headache of coaching guys who for the most part don't really want to be coached. Feel like NBA coaches are paid to make adjustments and prep players, which seemed to be a weak point for Ham.
Phil Handy got fired. He’s not coming back.
It's the job of the new coach to hire the assistants to run his system. Any coach with self respect will not allow a team to pick his assistants.
You need offense to win first and foremost.
I don't think teams have that many assistant coaches - lol
AD sealed the final fate on Darvin Ham, Not LeBron.
Correct. When he said "we don't know what we are doing on both ends of the court", Ham's fate was sealed.

What do yall think about Sam Cassell as a head coach? At least oppt at an interview?
Not for the Lakers...No to a first time HC. We did that with Ham already.
The only two names that the Lakers should consider to have a legitimate chance should be Mark Jackson and Mike Budenholzer!!!
Hi Trevor you were talking about a third star, but you never mention Clippers they have 4 stars on their team.
Really 3...Westbrook is a role player off the bench now.
If jj gets a interview rajon needs one too him and bron ran that offense the championship year
Dwight Howard on a veteran minimum, he is Batman and he definitely could get in the Joker's head
MVP Joker but Howard Deserves a Flyer..He is Physical.
I think drafting a center may be our best option at that position.
I favor the idea of hiring Gordon Herbert for head coach.
Vogal just got fired from Phoenix. Lakers bring Vogal back…
Watching Minnesota defend jokic makes you wish the lakers did the Myles Turner/hield trade. Turner + AD sets you apart come playoff time
Myles Turner most definitely now.
For guys to go get:
Jalen McDaniels. 6'9. F 26yrs
Naji Marshall. 6'6. G/F 26yrs
Saddiq Bey. 6'7. G/F 25yrs
Tyus Jones. 6'1. G 27yrs

Bey and Jones are both on the very first page if you list all NBA players by defensive rating ranked from worst to best.
Hiring Budenholzer would be like eating a cheeseburger but you hate hamburgers. It’s from the same damn family.
Sure, would be nice if you guys could look at the game from a perspective other than offense offense offense
We had a great offense. That wasn't the problem
Defense and rebounding. That's it. That's what we need. I don't give a s*** if some big can stretch the floor

Give Dwight howrad another look

Dwight Howard will never play in the NBA again. He's finished.
@@zyxtrr Also Vogel played him alot more minutes when he played because DeAndre Jordan was cooked.

Coach Bud has nasty taste in my mouth after the Bucks losing in the first rd. If he was all that, he would still be the Bucks Coach.

Buyout candidate..late addition & chemistry. Look at the Chemistry of Towns & Gobert Now. A better coach too.
If Mark is out maybe akerson. But for real outside of M Jackson, im voting for Sean Sleepyhead Spaces. Sleepy from my limited vision is a better option.
Mark Jackson HC, JJ as an assistant LFG! 💜 💛
NO. Mark Jackson wtf
Yes, mark Jackson
@@alvinwhitley9389 NO
The right choice is Mark Jackson but it will never happen crazy that such a good coach is black balled from the league
As someone who has been saying that Minnesota is underrated and a threat for the past couple years, I now need to tell you people that you were overrating them
The truth is Denver just isn't playing well
And the bad thing is even not playing well. Denver is still with him in the west with the best chance to beat Boston
Charles Lee as new Hornets hc
If we have our pic, we should just pick the best big rebounder available in the draft
Biggest Needs:
1) 6'4-6'7 "3&D" SG/SF
2) Bac(k)up Traditional Center
Suggestion:
Trade Rui/1-1st/1st Pic Swap or FINO for Carushow/Drummond/Torrey Craig
* The White Lightning ⛈️ and Thunder⚡️Bac(k) Court - The AR-15 & CaruShow!!!
* Starters: AR/Caruso/Vando/LBJ/AD
* DEN Starters: AR/Caruso/LBJ/AD/Drummond
Stop saying "Carushow" like he's a star player - he's just a pretty good role player and so is Drummond - neither one is worth giving up Rui and first for. Also, neither AR or Caruso are true PG's and Caruso/Drummond and Craig are all 30 or older, so that trade would benefit the Bulls more than the Lakers. Maybe Rui and a first if the Bulls threw in DeRozan -he's over 30 as well, but at least he's a star player who's a great scorer.
@@dmitryowens - Maybe You thought You was in Control of My Words Hommie!!! I’ll Call Him what I want.
In regards to trading for “Carushow”, We need a Defensive Minded Guard to pair with AR, there are not very many True PG’s left in The NBA bcuz the majority of Guards are Combo Guards in Today’s Game. And, Drummond is a Traditional Center that We can get for $3-$5 Million that can play against some of the Traditional Centers like Joker so, AD can occasionally move over to PF during certain matchups.
I like DeRozan bcuz He’s a Baller and He’s also from LA (Compton) however, He will be a FA Next Year and We can’t afford afford a $30+ Million FA.
@gregpollard7158
Well, the Lakers need a true PG who's a high level passer. If we're giving up Rui and a first, Dejounte Murray is a much better option than Caruso - he's taller, younger and most importantly a much better scorer, rebounder and passer.
@gregpollard7158
Also, DeRozan turns 35 in August - I highly doubt that any team is going to give a 35 year-old player 30+ mil (unless it's LeBron). He may get 20 mil max.
@@dmitryowens - Fosho!!! I would take Murray over Carushow as well however, I think They will most likely ask for AR/Rui/2-1st.
Why do everyone say Mark Jackson isnt a good idea ,every year or when coaching jobs open up
from what i heard he’s a religious freak
I can't lie, it's cringy when we always talk about "how are we going to construct our roster like the current best team in the nba".
Lakers should hire an experienced coach Like Atkinson and hire these other guys like Redick, Budenholzer, etc as assistants.
I think it takes a couple of years to develop team chemistry between all the players. I hope they just keep everyone together for next season because they really were close to Denver and were in every game. Lets go Lakers!!
Where have you been? 😑The aging Queen ain't got no time to "develop team chemistry between all players"...he wants to win NOW! If someone doesn't work out...move on to someone new. 🙄🤣
@@kaferrat can't keep being in a rebuilding mode, something has to change!!
@@markbeavers5747 Not as long as the aging Queen is there. 😑He's not there to develop team chemistry long term. 🙄His old ass ain't got the time.🤣
First rd exit & 2 straight years in the Playin too.
What is up with Mark Jackson
Minnesota Alexander and McDaniels are not 3point threats. They have other ppl for that
If the lakers trade for trae young I'm don't with this front office because that will show me where their mindset is as this point. No small guard in nba history has been able to win a title as the first option except curry and we know why curry has won. Trae will be a move just to sell tickets and no really to compete for championships so I hove I doesn't happen but I have lost faith in this front office so I don't know at this point what they are capable of
Isaiah Thomas as well.
Trae would be third. Trae is not a 1 option on a Championship level team.
Honestly I'm not too crazy on Trae...his size and defense...I rather have Dejounte Murray over Trae Young. That defense on Curry...Jahmal..Dame...Fox...Ja...
Trae be liability on defense at PG.
I will take vando being able to finish under the basket over Vando being okay from three
The sad thing is he was actually starting to finish right before he got hurt again
Bring on Steve Nash!
I’m all for the JJ reddick hire. He was coached by one the greatest of all time who Kobe absolutely loved and admired and wanted as his coach. It’s risky but I’m sick of the tired retread of fired coaches. Some people compared JJ to nets hiring Nash but it’s that laughable. JJ still watches and analyzes game tape and produces content discussing all the intricacies of the game. You really think Nash was doing that? If he was doing that he would’ve been talking about it somewhere.
What about Laure Markannen
Charlotte said we not getting Charles Lee
I mean being the fact we have no premier head coach selection, did we jump the gun in firing Pockets? Hum
The great irony is that I'm a Duke fan and I want nothing to do with JJ as the coach or Flip as the pick.
I don't want him either.
Me too on JJ.

brogdon and robert williams from portland
Get Lauri Markkanen, Jake LaRavia, Alex Len & D. Howard..
Coach Bud ? No way, drop coverage and corner 3”s Darvins father????? NOOOOOOOOOOOO
Bud better than Darvin, Darvin part of his tree and if he was all that, He still be the Bucks HC.
You said if AR played just 5more minutes we would have won the series! Lol , so what are we doing. We don’t need a center or a coach. Just give AR more minutes and we’re good 😊
AR didn't have a great series, He was up and down. He is not a star but a solid role player.
Why is Mark Jackson not considered a real candidate what did he do to be completely blackballed? Is there something that happened in GM offices that spray across the NBA that says Mark Jackson has done XYZ?
34:44 am i missing something? Why are you looking for a big that can play 15 to 20 minutes? You just need 2 Bigs that can defend Joker and Embid.
No bigs can defend Jokic and Embiid - lol
There have been far worse NBA moves than the Russ trade, even by the Lakers - letting Andrew Bynum walk and signing Dwight Howard (who left the next season) was a terrible move.
No one player is bigger than the Team Trevor. Remember that when you start saying things like, "Would lebron go for it or will lebron will this move" 😡😡 Com on man now its getting ridiculous
What about european coaches
Hire Snoop Dog to coach the Team.
Lakers need to target players like Ob toppin , jerami grant or kuzma
Honestly it sounds crazy but if Phil Jackson can just come out of retirement and sign a max 2 year deal until Lebron retires just to finally give Lebron a hall of fame coach so we can finally all see if the coach was always the problem.
MJ didn't get a Hall of Fame coach, neither did Tim Duncan. Players make hall of fame coaches so we KNOW it's not the coaches. Did Steph get a hall of fame coach? Is Steve Curry at this point a hall of fame coach?
I think the key will be to get 1-2 borderline stars instead of using assets on 1 superstar.
Trade Gabe, #17, 2nd for Caruso
Trade Dlo & Reaves for Dejounte & a 2nd
Trade JHS & 3 2nds for Nick Richards
Trade Rui, Cam, Hayes 2 1st for Kuzma
PG: DJ/Caruso
SG: Christie/Prince
SF: Kuzma/Vando
PF: Bron/Wood
C: AD/Richards
Start: DJ, Caruso, Kuzma, Bron, AD
I like where ur going and I was thinking the same way but dlo is way too much money for caruso. Dlo and 2 first for Murray would be nice then like Gabe and Hayes and a first for Caruso and Drummond would be fire. I think Max can help us tho so it's be better to get a Caruso type player at wing instead of guard
@@hunter-zp2hf Just updated some of the trades. Let me know what you think. Only team I think says no is maybe the Bulls cuz they’re a bit delusional but #17 & a 2nd or two should get it done. Drummond is a F/A but I’d love Richards as the backup with a quality vet min as a 3rd center
You the type of chef that cooks what he wants to eat
I think Jimmy is too much of an alpha for this team 😂
Lakers need to keep their eyes on the future and not worry about LeBron’s wants. He and AD are not getting you a title as was proven this season. Minnesota, Denver, Boston and OKC arent going anywhere anytime soon and the Lakers are not close. Might as well plan for the future instead of worrying about his wants.
I may have missed it, but was Reddick coaching up players the way Rondo always was? I feel he wasn’t. I prefer Rondo over Reddick by a lot! For any level of coach. Don’t want Reddick as a head coach, big mistake. Rondo as assistant would be very awesome.
Ty Lue or Kenny Atkinson.. No first time Head Coach.
Scratch Charles Lee. Going to the Hornets, via Woj.
